All-night learning program Explanation: In this context, the term refers to planning for an all night learning program, such as a "tikkun leil shavuot" or "tikkun hatzot".

Tikkun Explanation: Now that you posted a later question about Hoshanna Rabba, I wonder if this is also regarding that night. If so, then it refers to "Tikkun Leil Hoshanna Rabba", staying up all night learning Torah on the night of Hoshanna Rabba (the last day of Sukkot when the final judgment is handed down). I would leave it as Tikkun or Tikkun Leil Hoshanna Rabba, with a footnote. Reference: http://www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/template_cdo/ai...
